Proverbs 16:20-24

One who pays attention to the word will find good, And blessed is one who trusts in the Lord.

The wise in heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, But the discipline of fools is foolishness.

The heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds persuasiveness to his lips.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
